If you're looking for something X-based, take a look at xfmail. It's in /usr/ports/mail/xfmail. If you're not picky and will run a console client in an xterm, go with mutt and use procmail for filtering. I've been using them for ages now and it'd take *a lot* to get me to switch to something else :-) Both mutt and procmail are in /usr/ports/mail as well. - jim -- - jim mock - walnut creek cdrom/freebsd test labs - jim@luna.cdrom.com - - phone: 1.925.691.2800 x.3814 - fax: 1.925.674.0821 - jim@FreeBSD.org - - editor - The FreeBSDzine - www.freebsdzine.org - jim@freebsdzine.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
